Let’s go!” Continuing Midsummer Scream’s tradition of world-class presentations, “Original Monster Kids” will be an unprecedented gathering of the Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Jr./Sr., and Vincent Price families on stage to share pictures, home movies, and discuss what it has been like growing up the children and grandchildren of the most famous horror and pop-culture icons in the world.

Look at all of those shows! In February!!  Ahh, when you could go to River Belle without a reservation.  And of course, what visit to DCA is complete without some McDonald's!  Be sure to get your Fastpasses to go along with your Annual Pass!  And of course, check out the all new land, for kids!  When the DLRR only made right turns.  We hope you enjoyed this first entry in our series! Check back next week for a new map! January 24, 2022 - HersheyparkThis week we're headed to the east coast to visit one of the best, if not THE best "Coaster Park" in the country. Our visit was actually for a Hurricane Katrina benefit the park opened for.  The date we visited (September 23) wasn't even on the map. The park reopened just for this event to help out those who needed it.  Some info on Hershey. One of the only parks where the smell of chocolate is everywhere.  These events have expanded a lot since 2005.

One of the most complete maps we've featured so far, the amount of detail in this one is kind of amazing.  Shout out to Mr. Six!!  Lots of advertisements on the map, but that doesn't take away from how cool it is. I wonder if parks still take checks for anything.   Remember when SFOG had a confederate section? Yikes.    And finally, of course, the full park map! We'll be back next Monday with an all new map, maybe we'll keep heading south, maybe West, who knows!?!?! Related Videos
